!!! Monthly Rents Are Higher Than Monthly Mortgage Payments !!!

When you weigh your options of whether to buy a home or continue renting, how much you’ll pay each month is likely top of mind. According to NAR, monthly mortgage payments are rising, but they’re still significantly lower than the typical rental payment.

In fact, buyers who recently purchased a home locked in a monthly payment is, on average, $371 lower than what renters pay today (see graph below):

To the buyers out there who are waiting to buy a home until the market "turns," think again.

The longer you wait, the more you’ll pay, especially when mortgage rates and home prices rise even higher. Even the slightest change in the mortgage rate can have a big impact on your buying power no matter the price point.

The moral of the story: Don't assume waiting will save you money. Call me to set the ball into motion today while mortgage rates are hovering near historic lows!

You have 3 options: upgrade, downsize or refinance. One way or another, take advantage of these low interest rates while they last!

In today’s real estate market, mortgage interest rates are near record lows.

When you price your house right, you increase your home’s visibility, which drives more buyers to your front door. The more buyers that tour your home, the more likely you’ll have a multi-offer scenario to create a bidding war. When multiple buyers compete for your house, that sets you up for a bigger win.

Did you know that not all real estate agents have been trained to price homes right? That not all agents are experienced with how to correctly handle multiple-offer situations to help you gain the MOST?

I have been trained and I have the experience. Let me help you price your home right so you can make the most of your sale 😉 🙌 🏡 💯

Attention Young Homebuyers!!! 🚨 📢 🏡

For many young or first-time homebuyers, purchasing a home can feel intimidating. A recent survey says, "Many Millennials underestimate how much home they can afford right now, how much interest they would pay over a 30-year mortgage, and how much home values appreciate, on average, over 10 years…”

Truths:
1. 20% Down is NOT the standard for most!
2. You may be able to afford more home than you think!
3. Homeownership will become less affordable the longer you wait!

If you feel overwhelmed by the prospect of starting your home search, you’re not alone. Connect with me to learn more about the process, what you’ll need to start your search and what to expect.

For many young or first-time homebuyers, purchasing a home can feel intimidating.

Forgive me for the long post but this info is important...Are we in a housing bubble? Experts say NO!

“… conditions today are quite different than in the early 2000s, particularly in terms of credit availability. The current climb in house prices instead reflects strong demand amid tight supply, helped along by record-low interest rates.” -The State of the Nation’s Housing 2021

“The housing market is in line with fundamentals as interest rates are attractive and incomes are high due to fiscal stimulus, making debt servicing relatively affordable and allowing buyers to qualify for larger mortgages. Underwriting standards are still strong, so there is little risk of a bubble developing.”
-Nathaniel Karp, Chief U.S. Economist

“Looking back at the bubble years, house prices exceeded house-buying power in 2006 nationally, but today house-buying power is nearly twice as high as the median sale price nationally…Many find it hard to believe, but housing is actually undervalued in most markets and the gap between house-buying power and sale prices indicates there’s room for further house price growth in the months to come.” -Mark Fleming, Chief Economist

All 3 of the above resources strongly believe that we’re NOT in a bubble and won’t see crashing home values as we did in 2008. And they’re not alone – Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Merrill Lynch share the same opinion.

What do YOU think??

Good news for the 2nd half of 2021:

🏡 Mortgage Rates Will Likely Increase, but Remain Low
👩‍💼 Home Price Appreciation Will Continue, but Price Growth Will Likely Slow

“Homebuyers - interest rates are still historically low, though they are inching up. Housing prices have spiked during the last six-to-nine months, but we don’t expect them to fall soon, and we believe they are more likely to keep rising. If you are looking to purchase a new home, conditions NOW may be better than 12 months hence.”

My professional advice? Call me and buy now 😉

As we move into the latter half of the year, questions about what’s to come are top of mind for buyers and sellers.

“For every listing there are 5.1 offers. Half of the homes are being sold above list price.”

Five things buyers need to know when making an offer:
1. Know Your Numbers
2. Brace for a Fast Pace
3. Lean on a Real Estate Professional (that's me 😉)
4. Make a Strong, but Fair Offer
5. Be a Flexible Negotiator

When it comes to buying a house, you’re looking for the perfect place to call home.
